History

[edit | edit source]

Visually and structurally, it is a larger version of the Wright Cadet. Along with the Cadet, it perpetuated the 'Classic' styling for several years after the Scania (Axcess-Floline) and Volvo (Renown) based equivalents had been phased out. Of the 315 produced, 288 were purchased by Arriva, the first 14 delivered to Arriva Midlands North for services in Telford. 188 of these Arriva Commanders were exported to the Netherlands in left-hand drive configuration for use by the group's Netherlands subsidiary.[2][3]

The Commander was superseded by the Pulsar.
